Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for displaying a graphics object and to a corresponding communication appliance, particularly a mobile telephone or a computer.
  • graphics objects such as symbols indicating a function or a program
  • a virtual interface panel which is larger than an available display panel.
  • the invention is now based on the object of specifying a technical disclosure which allows clear display of graphics objects which are arranged on a virtual interface panel which is larger than an available display panel.
  • graphics objects which are arranged on a virtual interface panel which is larger than an available display panel are thus projected onto the edge of the display panel if they are outside of the displayed detail from the virtual interface panel.
  • the projected graphics objects are displayed in a displacing manner such that the projected graphics objects displayed do not overlap.
  • a small available display panel can be used to display all graphics objects which are arranged on a relatively large virtual interface panel.
  • preferably only that part of the virtual interface panel which the user has selected by positioning the display panel over the virtual interface panel is displayed to scale on the display panel.
  • the graphics objects which are not arranged on that portion of the virtual interface panel which is covered by the display panel are merely displayed through projection onto the edge of the display panel.
  • graphics objects are also understood to mean symbols, symbol parts, icons, icon parts, display windows, display window parts, pictures, picture details or texts and text elements.
  • the display panel is preferably formed by a display device, such as a graphics display, or part of a display device.
  • a display panel can be produced by a graphics window.
  • the virtual interface panel is preferably formed by information which describes the positions of graphics objects relative to a reference point on the virtual display panel, said information being stored in a memory device. In addition to this, this information can also describe the graphics objects themselves or a display scale. This or other information is also able to determine what detail of the virtual interface panel currently needs to be displayed in what display size on the display panel.
  • the display size or the display scale of the virtual interface panel and of the graphics objects arranged thereon can be changed by the user, for example, so that the case may also arise that the display of the virtual interface panel becomes smaller than the display panel. In this case, projected display of graphics objects can be dispensed with.
  • the virtual interface panel is preferably larger than a display panel if the current length and/or width dimensions of the display panel are smaller than the current length and/or width dimensions of the virtual interface panel, with the display scale which currently applies to this being used to calculate the dimensions of the virtual interface panel.
  • a graphics object is preferably situated outside of the displayed detail from the virtual interface panel when it is situated fully or partly outside of the displayed detail from the virtual interface panel or when its center is situated outside of the displayed detail from the virtual interface panel.
  • the projection onto the edge of the display panel particularly covers the case in which the graphics object is moved fully or partly from its actual position on the virtual interface panel in the direction of the center of the displayed detail from the virtual interface panel and is displayed fully or partly in the edge region of the display panel.
  • the edge region needs to be of broad design, in particular.
  • graphics objects displayed by projection are displayed in reduced size in comparison with the display scale which currently applies to the virtual interface panel, are displayed in distorted form and/or are displayed as simple geometrical shapes, such as lines.
  • the edge regions occupied by the projected graphics objects have a minimal space requirement in the case of line display, and even when scaled semicircle projections or “half” object projections are used for display the space requirement is very small.
  • the result is an undistorted user interface detail in the display panel which has only a minimal space requirement (in the extreme case, it is just one pixel line of the edge region) in order to be able to provide a visual display of all graphics objects and their spatial relationship with one another.
  • the size of the display of a projected graphics object is set on the basis of the distance between the displayed detail from the virtual interface panel and the position of the graphics object.
  • the reference point which is used for calculating the distance and which represents the detail displayed is preferably formed by the center of the detail displayed or of the display panel, a corner point of the detail displayed or of the display panel, the point at which an appropriate projection line intersects the edge region of the display panel or another point in the detail displayed.
  • the present invention is based on central projection with additional rules which relates to the arrangement of the projected objects relative to one another and their size.
  • the size of the objects is normalized to the difference between the minimum and maximum distance of the objects from one another.
  • the advantage of the method is the compression of widely varying ranges in a way which allows the user to consider objects together in the tightest space and to interact with them without needing to go through various zoom steps in the process. If a trip from Munich to Tokyo is considered, for example, in which information (such as travel photographs) at Munich airport, at Tokyo airport, at various attractions in Tokyo etc. has been recorded in the system, the user can see the information from Munich directly next to the information from Tokyo without needing to perform a zoom operation in order to do so. In addition, he can use simple interactions to use this compressed information display, e.g. for quickly navigating (what kind of information is important at Munich airport, which information is important at Tokyo airport etc.).

  • FIG. 10 shows a ninth exemplary embodiment of the display and projection of graphics objects.
  • FIG. 1 shows a mobile telephone MS which contains an operator control device MMI, a radio frequency device HF and a processor device PE.
  • the operator control device MMI comprises a display device ANZE, such as a graphics display, and operating elements, such as keys or softkeys.
  • a program-controlled processor device PE such as a microcontroller is provided which can also comprise a processor CPU and a memory device SPE.
  • further components associated with the processor device, belonging to the processor device, controlled by the processor device or controlling the processor device—such as a digital signal processor or further memory devices may be arranged within or outside of the processor device PE in this context, the basic function of said components in connection with a processor device for controlling a mobile telephone being sufficiently well known to a person skilled in the art and therefore not being discussed in more detail at this juncture.
  • the various components can use a bus system BUS or input/output interfaces and possibly suitable controllers to interchange data with the processor CPU.
  • the memory device SPE stores the program data, such as the control commands or control procedures etc., which are used for controlling the mobile telephone and the operator control unit MMI, and information regarding the description of the virtual interface panel together with graphics objects.
  • FIG. 2 shows a virtual interface panel VOF and a smaller display panel ANF displaying a detail from the virtual interface panel VOF.
  • Graphics objects GO arranged on the virtual interface panel VOF are projected along the lines shown onto the edge of the display panel ANF, and the graphics objects PGO projected in this manner are shown there as lines.
  • the display panel ANF is shown once again on a larger scale on the right.
  • the user can operate a navigation key in order to move the display panel ANF over the virtual interface panel VOF or to move the virtual interface panel VOF below the display panel ANF.
  • FIG. 3 shows an electronic map in the form of a virtual interface panel VOF, a detail from said electronic map being displayed in a display panel ANF.
  • Graphics objects GO are arranged on the virtual interface panel VOF at a distance from a point which is displayed—in the center of the display panel ANF—from the virtual interface panel.
  • FIG. 4 shows the projection of a graphics object (GO) 3 , which is situated outside of the displayed detail and is at the shortest distance from the center, at the edge of the display panel ANF.
  • the graphics object 3 is projected onto a first shell SCH 1 of the edge (projected graphics object PGO).
  • FIG. 5 shows the corresponding projection of a graphics object 2 , which is situated outside of the displayed detail and is at the second shortest distance from the center, at the edge of the display panel ANF.
  • the graphics object 2 is projected onto a second shell SCH 2 of the edge.
  • FIG. 6 shows the corresponding projection of a graphics object 1 , which is situated outside of the displayed detail and is at the third shortest distance from the center, at the edge of the display panel ANF.
  • the graphics object 1 is projected onto a third shell SCH 3 of the edge.
  • FIG. 7 shows the corresponding projection of a graphics object 4 , which is situated outside of the displayed detail and is at the fourth shortest distance from the center, at the edge of the display panel ANF.
  • the graphics object 1 is projected onto a fourth shell SCH 4 of the edge.
  • the distance between the shells is variable. If the distance between the shells is set to zero, i.e. the radii of all shells are of equal size, the illustration shown in FIG. 8 is obtained.
  • FIG. 9 shows the projection of the graphics objects GO onto shells with slightly different radii combined with a variation in the size of the display of the projected graphics objects PGO.
  • FIG. 10 shows a projection of the graphics objects GO with a variation in the size of the display of the projected graphics objects PGO.
  • displays of projected graphics objects PGO which would overlap are displaced such that an overlapping display is prevented but the displays of the projected graphics objects (particularly the centers of these displays of the projected graphics objects) are nevertheless situated on the line of projection between the center and the graphics object (directionally stable displacement).
  • the invention covers a multiplicity of further embodiment variants which will not be described in further detail here, but which can easily be implemented in practice using the exemplary embodiments described.
